When I saw Trent Reznor as a musical credit for The Social Network, I just assumed a Nine Inch Nails song was in the soundtrack, but the rocker did compose the film’s score, and then went on to win an Oscar for it.
So no surprise that we hear he has been offered a job to score another film – Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter to be precise – but he may be acting in the film as well?
According to sources close to Badass Digest, Reznor has been brought on to score the upcoming history-meets-monsters mash-up, ABRAHAM LINCOLN: VAMPIRE HUNTER.
But not only that, Reznor will also apparently be portraying the vampire that — SPOILERS — kills Lincoln’s mom!
Now I was pleasantly surprised to see the rough and gritty musician win an Oscar, but at the end of the day he IS a musician.
However it does make me nervous when I hear about Musicians getting roles in movies as actors. Granted this part may be very minor, so its not a lot of nervousness, but I am interested to see if Reznor makes the leap from writing hard rock, to writing movie scores.
I’m just not interested in seeing him as an actor.
